Love the handlebars! I was thinking of doing the same thing to my CB650R also but it defeats the purpose of me buying the bike. I bought the CB over the CBR was because of the seating position and wouldn't hurt my upper back/neck like all sport bikes, and also being heavy on the wrists. Do you get the same problems?

I originally got the bike for the same reason. Switched from a Triumph Dayton 675 to this to give my back and wrists some slack. I'm not sure if I'm completely happy with the new bars but it's not nearly as aggressive as the sport bike, as the CBR650R is more of a supersport. There's about an inch rise compared to standard clip on. My back is not sore from the several rides I've had with these bars so far. If you're interested in swapping to clip ons I'd recommend getting a 3" rise. The air scoops get in the way for most optimal bar position.

No problem. These are the part numbers I ordered for the bars and the 10mm bolt to tighten them down. Wasn't sure how much torque for tightening but manual said 10mm bolt was 25ft/lbs and they've been secure so far. As I mentioned before, be warned, depending how you mount them they can/will/may touch the air intake cowls.
